Beginners / Tournament Information

I could talk a little about Ted's Dread.  I've never seen a course like it.

Last year I played a tournament there.  I believe it was the red bud open.  We played the course as I knew it for the first round.  Pro par of about 60, I would say.  There was a 55 for the low pro score.

The second round was unbelievable.  We played from longer tees on a few holes and longer basket placements on a great many holes.  This was the most challenging and varied course configuration that I've ever played.  I shot like an 83 in the round.  The best pro score in the tourney was 66.  I played again later that after noon and shot 65, 18 shots better!  I don't believe a 56 is possible on this configuration.  This is a true golf course.  It has many par 4's and a few par 5's.  Overall, Par 70!

Here is a list of the holes and which ones had dual tees and dual pin locations.  I used the old numbering before it was changed.  The course makes more sense to me with these numbers.

1)  No change                     10)  Dual tees
2)  Dual pins                       11)  Dual tees and pins
3)  No change                     12)  Dual pins
4)  Dual pins                       13)  Dual pins
5)  Dual pins                       14)  Dual pins
6)  Dual tees                       15)  Dual pins
7)  Dual pins                        16)  Dual pins
 No change                     17)  Dual pins
9)  Dual tees and pins          18)  Dual tees and pins

I sure hope we get to play both courses again this year!

Brandon Mace from Salina has agreed to TD the event.  With that being the case, it may be a little bit different from how Kevin is running Saturday's "Kan U Wyco."

Mace will generally open up any division with at least 3 players.  At most tournaments with significant attendance there should be a Novice, Amateur, Advanced Am, Amatuer Masters, Amateur Women, Open, and Open Masters.  Other divisions (Junior, Grandmaster, Pro Women) are possible but seldom draw enough players.

I don't know if $2 will be added for non KDGA or non KCFDC members.  In most KDGA tourneys so far, $2 comes out of everyones entry, member or no.  I'm not certain about this stuff, so you should get with Brandon to find out.  I don't have his phone #.  You can reach him on the KDGA forum.  The site is pretty much identicle to this one.  Kansasdiscgolf.com/forum  His username is Mace Man, so just send him a private message.

Focusing in on the rest of your question, no membership is required to play.  This event is not PDGA sanctioned, so the outcome will have no effect on any players PDGA rankings or such.  Entry should be considerably lower than most PDGA tourneys.  Hope this helps.  It's going to be a great weekend!

Roger that!

I'll be making the drive next weekend.  Camping at Ted's Dred ok on saturday night?

Super long tees at Wyco?  Who can hang with this?  Are they gonna set up Ted's Dred on long tees/ long pins for the second round?  That's a par 70 course!

Gonna be a blast.  I'll try to round up some fellow Kansans for these events.  See you there!

Where's everyone at?  KC has a lot of DGers and not many on this board.  Doesn't seem like you have a big problem with numerous, purposeless posts here.  I like this system because you do receive email when you get a private message.

Great job with this site!

Taking DeLavega out?  No way!  That course is on the earth's top ten for sure.  I wonder what the deal is...
